Fraud in Portugal is practiced by oil companies and Government on a daily basis!!! Everyday the world faces serious economic difficulties, unemployment, more and more companies closing down, massive layoffs, sales dropping, production levels at the lowest ever, but somehow the Portuguese government and oil companies like Galp,BP,Cepsa and Repsol take upon themselves to on a weekly basis increase the final consumer price at the pump two or three times per week....
Its measures like these that have placed the world economy in a recession, Portugal has one of the worlds most expensive consumer oil prices, even now as oil prices slipped below $50 a barrel as investors grappled with the prospect that global growth will be slower than originally feared. Oil prices have fallen about 67% in four months, plunging from a record $147.27 in mid-July 2008. However this decrease in crude prices does not affect one of Europe’s oldest economies...Portugal...were prices continue to be one of the highest in the world, even when crude prices where at a three-year low Portugal continued to have final consumer prices one of the highest in the world...Oil consumption in Portugal last year dropped more than 14% and all tendencies indicate that it will continue!!!
Last week final consumer prices have once more increased more than two cents per litter!!! this dishonest attitude is lead by the so called national oil company Galp Energia...there is no reason for the increase except greed, the Portuguese Government is also involved in this apparent corruption scheme as the more the companies charge the more taxes the government obtains... This scheme is called "Robin Hood Tax" the more you charge the more Tax I (government) have... As is also tradition one company increases all others follow behind, the prices are also certainly combined between all involved... This arrogant attitude by the oil companies (GALP,BP,REPSOL,CEPSA) and government will not be forgotten as Portugal will shortly enter a period of elections for a new government; the population will certainly have the opportunity to elect a new government that will work for the people and not for the oil industry...
